We handle client-side validation in a piecemeal fashion. It would simplify
things for the user and developers if we standardized on one JavaScript library
for handling all client-side form validation.

I propose we use this one:

http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/

Syntax is pretty simple:

In the JavaScript:

  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#commentForm").validate();
  });

In the markup:

 <form id="commentForm" method="get" action="">
 <input id="cname" name="name" size="25" class="required" minlength="2" />

 "class='required'" tells the script to validate that field as required. Other
options include email, url, date, number, specific length, etc.
